Dominic Gilpin, the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Coast Guardsman who was allegedly found with a quantity of cannabis and a firearm with matching ammunition on Monday, was yesterday remanded to prison after facing three charges.
Gilpin and Paul Murray, who was with him when the illegal items were found, both faced charges when they were arraigned before Principal Magistrate Faith McGusty in Georgetown.
Gilpin, 30, and Murray, 30, both denied the joint charge that on September 30th, at the Avenue of the Republic, they had five kilogrammes of cannabis in their possession for the purpose of trafficking.
